“Sounding like no other singer of her generation” (Allmusic.com), Mary Fahl is an expressive, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-90’s chamber-pop group October Project. Fahl’s elegant, cinematic songs draw on classical and world music sources, American art song, as well as thinking man’s folk-pop. She sings in an earthy, viscerally powerful contralto that Boston Globe critic Steve Morse calls "a voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realms.”

Since her "October Project" days, Fahl has written and performed songs for several major motion pictures, including the lead song (“Going Home”) for the Warner Bros. Civil War epic “Gods and Generals” and recorded solo albums for Sony Classical and V2 Records including her recently released re-imagining of the Pink Floyd classic, “Dark Side of the Moon”.

In this solo performance in Chatham, she will perform a number of songs from her recent release, several new works, as well as an October Project song or two. Visit maryfahl.com for more information.
